<p>Yesterday NVIDIA released their latest financial results for Q4 2012 and FY2012.&nbsp; There was some good and bad mixed in the results, but overall it was a very successful year for NVIDIA.</p>
<p>Q4 saw gross revenue top $953.2 million US with a net income of $116 million US.&nbsp; This is about $53 million less in gross revenue and $62 million down in net income as compared to last quarter.&nbsp; There are several reasons as to why this happened, but the majority of it appears to be due to the hard drive shortage affecting add-in sales.&nbsp; Simply put, the increase in hard drive prices caused most OEMs to take a good look at the price points of the entire system, and oftentimes would cut out the add-in graphics and just use integrated.</p>

<p class="rtecenter"><strong><em>Tegra 3 promises a 50% increase in revenue for NVIDIA&nbsp;this coming year.</em></strong></p>
<p>Two other reasons for the lower than expected quarter were start of the transition to 28 nm products based on Kepler.&nbsp; They are ramping up production on 28 nm and slowing down 40 nm.&nbsp; Yields on 28 nm are not where they expected them to be, and there is also a shortage of wafer starts for that line.&nbsp; This had a pretty minimal affect overall on Q4, but it will be one of the prime reasons why revenue looks like it will be down in Q1 2013.&nbsp;</p>
